TheyMatter.com was created to allow access to public contact information that other web sites keep in closed systems or require people to purchase.

Say you are browsing a dating web site and you find someone you are interested in, but all they have listed is a member screenname and their contact information is only available to paying subscribers. That information may be available for free on TheyMatter.com.

Perhaps you are conducting business with a seller through a large online e-commerce site and you would like to know the identity of the seller before completing the transaction. That information may be available for free on TheyMatter.com.

Maybe you are on AOL Instant Messenger and you want to send an e-mail to a friend but have forgotten their e-mail address. That information may be available for free on TheyMatter.com.

These are just a few of the many ways this web site may be used.
